About Raga Marubihag

Sabri Khan performed Raga Marubihag as the fourth track on the 1992 album Immortal Series: Sarangi Maestro. The label T-Series released the recording on compact disc. The composition spans 15 minutes and 21 seconds, showcasing Khan’s interpretation of the raga on the sarangi, a bowed string instrument central to Hindustani classical music.

The album belongs to the Immortal Series, a collection that features recordings by prominent Indian classical musicians. Khan’s rendition of Marubihag adheres to the raga’s traditional structure, characterized by its melodic phrases and emotional depth. The track exemplifies his command over gamak (ornamentation) and meend (gliding between notes), techniques integral to the sarangi repertoire.

The release date of Immortal Series: Sarangi Maestro is documented as 1992, though the exact day and month remain unrecorded in available sources. The album format and production quality reflect the commercial standards of classical music recordings in India during the early 1990s. No additional details about session musicians, recording locations, or alternate takes are publicly verified.

Sabri Khan (1927–2015) was a distinguished exponent of the sarangi and a representative of the Indore gharana. His contributions to Hindustani classical music include performances, compositions, and pedagogical work. Raga Marubihag remains a notable example of his recorded output, illustrating the expressive capabilities of the sarangi in a solo instrumental context.
